TRAvELlNG-BAG, vAL|se, as.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 369,794, dated September 13, 1887.

Application led June 18, 1887. Serial No. 241,796. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND S. J oLINE, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Traveling Bags, Valises, or Satchels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates particularly to improvements in pockets for bags, valises,.and satchels; vand it consists in the application of a pocket or pockets carried continuously around the bag from one side to the other, either upon the outside of the body of the bag proper or upon the inside of the bag-body, or between the sides of the bag and the lining, or between two linings, or upon the inside lining, the objects of my improvements being to provide a continuous pocket or pockets in such receptacles for the purpose of holding cuffs, collars, or shirts Without soiling or breaking them, or such other or similar articles as it may be necessary to carry in such receptacles. I attain these objects by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 `is a view of the inside ol a bag, showing the openings of the pockets and their general position in the bag. As here shown, th'e pockets are formed between the lining and the sides of the bag, the lining being stitched to the bag-body at and around the frame. aa

are the ends of the bag, gits sides or body,'and b the lining. rIhe pocket-openings are represented, respectively, by d and It on the sides of the bag, f being collars in one pocket, aud e cuffs in the other. The pockets may be put in separate and distinct from each other, or they may be made togetherand separated by stitching, as may be deemed most practicable. The frame of the bag is shown at z' t'.

I do not limit myself to two pocket-s, nor to the exact position in which they may be attached or placed, as obviously any number may be made, and they may be attached or placed upon either side of the lining or upon either side of the body of the bag itself. In practice it is found desirable to first line the bag and then superpose a second lining upon the first, and form the pocket between the two linings.

Fig. 2 is a cross-section clearly showing the continuous pocket d, lining Z), and sides of the bag g. This figure also shows the usual and ordinary pocket in a bag and the manner in which my continuous pockets may be put in a bag, together with the ordinary one. For sim plicity of illustration the pocket is here shown as formed between the lining and the body of the bag.

Fig. 3 shows my improved pocket applied upon the outer walls of the bagbody. In this case I employ flaps m and n to fasten down over the pocket-openings and close them from dust and protect the articles held therein. In this figure, 7c is a pocket stitched upon the bagbody, and Z is the opening of apocket continuing to the other side, but upon the inside ofthe bag.

Of course I may make all my pockets in one bag-i. e., pockets upon the outside walls of the bag, pockets upon the inside walls of the bag, pockets between a lining and the walls of the bag, pockets between two linings, or pockets attached to or stitched upon a lining, as occasion may require. 4

My pockets are approximately of curvilinear form, and it is this feature which I consider to be the principal part of my invention.

I am aware that ordinary pockets both on the inside and outside of valises or bags are old, and these I desire to disclaim.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a bag, valise, or satchel, a continuous pocket or pockets extending from one side to the other of any such receptacle, substantially as set forth.

2. In a bag, valise, or satchel, the combination of two linings and a continuous pocket or pockets, as described, formed between them.

3. On a bag, valise, or satchel, a continuous pocket or pockets attached to the outside and extending from one side to the other thereof, substantially as set forth.l
